Mexico City Grand Prix 2022 start time: F1 practice, qualifying, race schedule on TV
Your complete guide to the Mexico City Grand Prix 2022 start time, plus full TV schedule for race weekend, including practice, qualifying and the GP itself.
The Mexico City Grand Prix has arrived and the home fans are set to turn up in numbers for one man: Sergio Perez.
The Red Bull star has proven to be an excellent foil for world champion Max Verstappen as the team have dominated the majority of this season.
Christian Horner has acted clinically in the past with the support driver slot alongside Verstappen, with Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon both cut, but Perez has settled wonderfully into the role.
The Mexican ace has been consistent all year long with a steady trickle of podium finishes and even victories heading his way.
Fans will be keen to see how his battle with Charles Leclerc unfolds as they duel for second place in the driver standings.
RadioTimes.com brings you the complete guide to the Mexico City Grand Prix 2022 including start time, dates and TV details, as well as our analysis of the big storylines to come.

Mexico City Grand Prix preview
1. Perez returns
The homecoming hero will be given a raucous welcome back to Mexican soil and he will be determined to deliver a big performance. He enjoyed four top-10 finishes in five Mexican Grands Prix with Force India, before finishing third in the Mexico City Grand Prix last year.
2. Scrap for second
Perez will not only be centre of attention due to this being his home race; he will also be centre of attention due to the battle enveloping him and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc for second. The pair have flipped back and forth in recent weeks, providing us with real drama at the front of the grid, despite the title already being wrapped up.
3. McLaren vs Alpine
Nobody wants fourth, when McLaren and Alpine absolutely should want to finish there. Both have fallen short of challenging the elite pack and let Ferrari nip ahead to form a top three. Three retirements for Alpine in Italy and Singapore were damaging for them, while it's not harsh to say Daniel Ricciardo's form in 2022 has weighed McLaren down. Who will claim fourth in the weeks to come?
